Leary wanted one and hosed off and did his own when the Friar's Club said no. Now it's just whatever D list celebrity wants to have one and fill the dias with people they barely know.

The actual Friar's Club roasts are masterpieces. They were for people who were legitimately funny and considered so by other extremely funny people. I can still remember Sarah Silverman's quip, "I wouldn't gently caress you with Dr. Ruth's pussy," who was also in attendance and lost it.

Also the people doing the roasts actually knew the person they were roasting and not just in a generic "oh, I've heard about that person in the news" kind of way.

The old Dean Martin roasts were usually pretty funny. They had a few things that would be cringey now, like Foster Brooks' drunk act, but seeing Rickles cut loose on legitimately famous people was always good.

Samuringa posted:The Mummy and The Mummy Returns are masterpieces Mummy Returns is solid fun, but not great. The first one ('99, not '32) has some CG that doesn't quite hold up, but Returns not only had more, but if I remember right they had to rush it and you can kinda tell.

All I need to know about the second Mummy is that one .gif. You know the one. My favorite part is the dude who runs in and slides on his knees, like he was taking a leak or something and just realized that he missed his mark.

The Mummy was never trying to be anything that would go down in history as high art. It was trying to be a stupid action movie that would entertain you for a couple of hours. It succeeded at that. It's fun as hell if you want to watch a stupid action movie that knows it's stupid and just wants you to have some stupid fun for a bit. ToxicSlurpee has a new favorite as of 06:11 on Apr 14, 2019 |

They were supposed to get live action footage of the Rock in some kind of harness in front of a green screen (granted this was 2001 so still the very early days of motion/performance capture), but he had a slight injury of some kind and needed to stay healthy because he was gonna be in the main event of Wrestlemania that year. And of course the movie had to open in May so they rushed it.

I recall him saying that the budget and time was cut drastically late in the process and so they just had to make do.

William Shatner is loving 88 years old. He can bitch about Baby Boomers the way Baby Boomers bitch about Millennials.

William Shatner is 88 and has spent the last fifty years dealing with Trekkies. I'm prepared to cut him some slack for that.

The only thing anyone needs to know about William Shatner is that it's gonna be a long, long time 'til touchdown brings him round again to find he's not the man we think he is at home. Oh no no no.

I saw the Venus de Milo gummy episode of The Simpsons the other month and boy was that an experience in 2019. Basically Homer gets accused of sexual harassment after he touches a woman's rear end, a bunch of women come out to accuse him of stuff he presumably didn't do, his life is ruined and he gets angry mobs gathering in front of his house. At the end of the episode the message is "Don't believe everything you hear".

At the end of the episode the message is "Don't believe everything you hear". One part that has gone from hyperbole to everyday reality is when Dennis Franz plays Homer in the TV movie and says incredulously, “with a man in the White House?” when the babysitter says she’ll tell the entire country that he touched her rear end. But I guess Bill Clinton was president then and it was more a case of everyone being blind to reality vs the world getting a ton worse (not that it didn’t).

There was an episode of Voyager where Seven thinks a guy medically experimented on her while she was under anesthesia, and when accused, the guy flips poo poo and flies away as fast as possible, then dies because he pushed his warp engine too hard and it exploded. Then it turns out she dreamt it and it was her memory of getting Borg'd, and the moral of the episode seems to be "if you think you were taken advantage of, maybe you just dreamt it and your false accusation will kill an innocent man!" and I had to immediately go online to see if I had missed something or if that actually loving happened.

Trump fans and republicans seem pretty cavalier about dismissing victims and assault allegations in the present. I feel like there used to be a pretense of theoretically respecting victims if they were the exact right kind or whatever, but the quiet part got a lot louder after they realized nobody gave a poo poo about Trump’s Billy Bush interview.
